I recently purchased a TiVo from eBay, just a basic one, no subscription or mods done to it, was going to do most things myself. I still haven't recieved the tivo, not the fault of the seller, royal mail appear to have 'lost' it. Anyway, i got the tivo for like £45 plus p&p.
The seller is going to refund me the money next week, problem is I am now wary of buying another TiVo off eBay, I have heard that people can have problems with TiVos that are sold with Lifetime subscriptions, (ie. people have cloned the subscription info to get more for the tivo, when in fact it doesnt have a lifetime sub)
I am not bothered about life time sub at the moment, I will probably be able to afford to pay it within the next 3-4 months anyway.
I really want a TiVo again!!! I already have a turbonet card ready to install, along with a 250gb hard drive ready prepped for installation, all I need now is the TiVo. I reckon I have around £65 to spend including postage. More if I manage to sell my PSP, lol then I would wanna get a cachecard definately.
This will be the 3rd TiVo I have owned, when will I learn, I had to selll the previous 2, st one cos my dad insisted on getting sky plus (aagggh satan!!!) and the 2nd because I am a poor student and went off to Uni (wish i had just left it sitting in a cupbaord).
Anyway if anyone can help with my query (if you can find it in all this blab)
Cheers
